A paint job is 80% preparation and 20% paint — which is why cheap paint jobs fail within two years. FAIME painting crews prep, prime, and apply two premium finish coats on every project, interior or exterior, across the GTA.
Wash, sand, patch, and caulk. Adhesion is decided before the first drop of paint.
02
Full Prime
The correct primer for every surface — new drywall, stains, glossy trim. Never skipped.
03
Two Finish Coats
Premium Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams. Two coats minimum, checked under raking light.
What We Do
Every Surface, Properly Painted
Painting is one of the two trades FAIME Construction self-performs — our own crews, not a subcontracted crew booked for the week. We paint commercial and residential properties across the GTA: commercial ceiling spray painting from scissor lifts, storefront and retail repaints, corridors and common areas, whole-house interiors, and exterior repainting with colour matching. Every project gets full surface prep, surface-matched primer and two premium finish coats (Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams or Dulux), backed by a two-year written workmanship warranty.15+ years of trade experience · 100+ GTA projects · WSIB Active · $2M CGL · Free site visits
From a single feature wall to a whole-house repaint or a full exterior, FAIME treats paint as a system — surface prep, primer, and premium finish coats — not a rushed afternoon with a roller. Need drywall work first? See our dedicated drywall page.

Commercial & Property Work
Painting That Works Around Your Business
Commercial painting is a scheduling problem as much as a finishing problem. Retail units cannot close, tower corridors stay in use, and a ceiling repaint over an occupied floor has to be masked to the last sprinkler head. FAIME self-performs this work across storefronts, low-rise commercial, high-rise buildings and institutional properties — so the crew that quotes it is the crew that shows up.
Commercial Ceiling Painting
Airless spray with a back-roll where the substrate needs it, worked from scissor lifts, two coats throughout. Exposed deck, T-bar grid and drywall ceilings, with fixtures, sprinklers and ductwork masked before a drop of paint moves.

Scissor-lift and elevated access
Exposed deck, T-bar & drywall ceilings
Fixture, sprinkler & duct masking
Two-coat coverage, no thin passes
After-hours & weekend scheduling
Storefront & Retail Repaints
Repainting a unit that cannot afford to close. Work is staged overnight or across quiet days, the site is left clean and sellable every morning, and colours are matched to the brand standard you already have.
Storefront exteriors & signage bands
Interior retail walls, bulkheads & ceilings
Overnight and off-hours turnarounds
Colour matched to brand standards
Occupied-store dust and access protocols
Entry doors, frames & surrounds
High-Rise, Institutional & Common Areas
Repeat programs for property managers, building owners and boards — including high-rise residential and commercial towers and institutional buildings. Phased so one wing or floor stays open while another is painted, with low-VOC product in occupied space and a written scope you can hand to an owner, a board or a facilities team.

Exterior Repainting & Colour Matching
The advantage of a contractor that self-performs both trades: when exterior paint is failing because the substrate underneath it is failing, the same crew repairs the wall and repaints it. No finger-pointing between a stucco company and a painter.
Full exterior repainting
Colour-matched semi-gloss on trim, columns & fascia
When paint peels at 18 months, the failure happened weeks earlier — dirty surfaces, skipped primer, thin coats. FAIME's painting discipline exists so that never happens to your walls.
01
Prep Is Non-Negotiable
Washing, sanding, patching, and caulking before any paint goes on. Most of a great paint job happens before the can is opened.
02
Primer Matched to Surface
Drywall primer on new board, stain-blocking primer on water marks, bonding primer on glossy trim. Skipping primer is how paint peels.
03
Premium Paint Only
Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams on every project — product that actually covers in two coats and holds its colour for years.
04
Checked Under Raking Light
The first coat dries fully and gets inspected under side-light for holidays and roller marks before the second coat goes on.
05
Masking & Protection
Floors, fixtures, tile, and cabinets are properly masked before painting begins. No spatter on your hardwood, no overspray on your new tile.
06
Hand-Cut Lines
Trim, ceilings, and corners cut in by hand — crisp, straight lines at every intersection instead of taped-and-prayed edges.
07
Exterior Colour Matching
When existing exterior surfaces need to match — columns, trim, fascia, stucco — FAIME applies colour-matched semi-gloss that blends seamlessly. No visible patchwork.
How It Works
Our Painting Process
01
Walkthrough & Colour Selection
Free site visit, written scope and quote. Colour consultation support if you want it — including samples on your actual walls under your actual lighting.
02
Protection & Masking
Floors covered, fixtures masked, furniture moved or wrapped. Exterior: landscaping, windows, and hardware protected before any prep starts.
03
Surface Preparation
Wash, sand, patch, and caulk. Loose or failing old paint is removed, not painted over. Glossy surfaces are scuffed for adhesion.
04
Priming
The correct primer for each surface, applied as a full coat — not spot-primed where it's convenient. Scuff-sand between primer and finish.
05
Two Finish Coats
First coat dries fully and is checked under raking light. Second coat delivers the depth of colour that separates professional from DIY.
06
Touch-Up & Walkthrough
Touch-ups completed, protection removed, hardware reinstalled, site cleaned. You walk every room with us before we call it done.

Painting Work We Have Actually Done
Photographed jobs, not stock imagery. Each one has its own page with the sequence of work and the finished result.
Commercial Ceiling Repaint
A Scarborough commercial ceiling taken back to a clean, uniform finish — scissor-lift access, airless spray with a back-roll, two full coats. The clearest example of how FAIME handles overhead commercial work.
Exterior mouldings repaired and repainted in a colour-matched semi-gloss, blended into the surrounding surfaces so the repair reads as original rather than as a patch.
Grind back, mesh, tinted finish coat and fresh base caulking on a Scarborough exterior — the case where repainting alone would have failed and the wall itself needed rebuilding first.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
On new drywall: one primer coat plus two finish coats minimum. On previously painted surfaces: primer where needed plus two finish coats. We never do single-coat finishes — the second coat fills the holidays missed in the first and produces the depth of colour that makes a paint job look professional. We use premium products that genuinely cover in two coats rather than budget paint that needs four.
FAIME specifies premium Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams products on every project. Low-VOC and zero-VOC lines are available for bedrooms, nurseries, and occupied homes. We don't use discount product — better paint covers better, lasts longer, and holds its colour, which costs you less over the life of the finish.
Roughly May through October, depending on the year. Exterior paint needs surface and air temperatures above the product's minimum (typically 10°C) and a dry window for curing. We schedule exterior work around the weather and will tell you honestly if a requested date is too early or too late in the season to deliver a finish that lasts.
Yes — including colour-matched semi-gloss on exterior columns, trim, fascia, and stucco so repairs blend seamlessly into existing surfaces. One honest caveat: heavily aged or sun-faded paint may require repainting the full wall or section to achieve a truly invisible result. We'll tell you which situation you have before we start.
Yes — painting and refinishing of existing cabinets, including proper degreasing, sanding, bonding primer, and sprayed or brushed finish coats. Note that FAIME paints and refinishes existing cabinetry; we don't build or install new cabinets.
Yes — commercial ceiling painting is work FAIME self-performs. We work from scissor lifts, spray with an airless rig and back-roll where the substrate calls for it, and apply two full coats rather than one heavy pass. Exposed deck, T-bar grid and drywall ceilings are all in scope, and fixtures, sprinkler heads and ductwork are masked before any spraying starts. Our Scarborough commercial ceiling repaint shows the full sequence.
Yes. Most of our commercial painting runs after hours, overnight or across phased weekends so a retail unit, office or corridor stays usable during business hours. We agree the staging with you before the work starts — which areas come out of service, on which nights, and what condition the space is left in each morning. Low-VOC products are used in occupied spaces so the area can be reoccupied quickly.
Yes. FAIME provides a two-year written workmanship warranty on our own work, stated in the contract. The paint itself carries its manufacturer's separate product warranty. If a finish we applied fails within that window because of how it was applied, we come back and correct it.
Yes — storefront exteriors, signage bands, entry doors and frames, and the interior walls, bulkheads and ceilings behind them. Retail work is scheduled around trading hours, and colours are matched to an existing brand standard where one exists. Storefront and low-rise commercial property is core FAIME work, and we take on high-rise and institutional painting programs as well.
A whole-house interior repaint typically runs three to seven working days depending on square footage, ceiling height and how much prep the walls need. A commercial ceiling or corridor program is quoted in phases and is usually measured in nights rather than days. We put the schedule in the written scope before the work starts, and we will tell you if prep is going to add time rather than discovering it halfway through.
Yes. Alongside houses, storefronts and low-rise commercial property, FAIME takes on high-rise and institutional painting programs — common areas, corridors, stairwells, lobbies, amenity space and parking structures, as well as suite and unit repainting. This work is quoted and run in phases so the building keeps operating: sections come out of service on an agreed schedule, low-VOC products are used in occupied areas, and access and elevated work are coordinated with building management before crews mobilise. Scope, phasing and access are settled in writing at the site visit rather than discovered partway through.
